CHIEF EXECUTIVE: A Cyberpunk Roleplay [OOC | OPEN]

[Xah]

Hey all. This ain't my first 'hard' sci fi rodeo, so I thought I'd drag out some old calculations I had for travel times within the solar system. It's based on hard maths, using some plausible, if not possible at the moment, technology for ship drives. Essentially, the craft accelerates for half the journey, then flips around (or flips its thrusters, or has retro-thrusters) and decelerates for the rest, giving an even gravity throughout.

There's 3 tables for various acceleration forces. I'd say that 0.5g is for freight and cheaper passenger services; it's hard enough to prevent most the issues with low-G, but low enough to save on fuel. 1G is for standard fare passenger services and most traffic that isn't urgent. 3G is for military or high-speed courier work; 3G is bearable for the days-long trips detailed, with training, equipment and drugs, but it's not good if done too often or for too long. The values in blue are minimum times - when the planets are closest together, the values in pink are maximum values, when they're furthest apart. (If you want to be super-precise, use an online orrery (like this one) to work out where the planets will be on the dates you're using )

Just a tool to keep the RP along some plausible time-frame scale. So if you launch your fleet from Saturn, heading for Venus, you don't turn up 3 days later.

Looks like my optimal posting time is Thursday (tomorrow) afternoon. Expect a post and move on at that time!

The NSF on the streets have been driven away. We're going to be splitting up into two teams: A team that'll go into the armory, clear it out, and engage in a boss battle with a hostile MFV in the armory parking lot, that'll be led by Lucy and anyone else who wants to come. The second team, led by Alpha 1, is gonna clear out the mall and do a wave defense against the huge NSF presence in there. There's a lot of poorly-trained soldiers in there but their numbers can potentially overwhelm the odds.

BASE INFORMATION

CORPORATION NAME: Orion Defense and Cargo
CORPORATION SPECIALITY: Defense platform construction, Mercenary work, Cargo shipping.
MAJOR INDUSTRIES: Mining
CORPORATION EXECUTIVE: Fredrick J. Falks
HEADQUARTERS: Orion Headquarters, Ceres orbit.
HISTORY: Orion was originally founded as a defense contractor in the final years of Oxis, running down pirates and hauling the wrecks back to port for payment. That was until Lewis Johnson became executive after Oxis collapsed. He wanted Orion to settle down a bit, turn their mindsets towards more permanent operations. A rudimentary Defense platform was set up in orbit around Ceres as a test venture and after its successful, albeit roughed up performance, A new one, dubbed Valhalla, was constructed and the latter converted into Orion HQ. Two more were built during the power vacuum that also proved beneficial to Orion. When things quieted down, Orion also moved to include shipment and maintennance of a small mercenary fleet.

Now, Orion is becoming more aggressive in the playing field as Executive Falks seeks to expand to mining, which should be quite profitable due to the main location of the company being Within the asteroid belt. Mercenary ships are becoming more and more advanced as the rusting Defense platforms are being scheduled for overhauls. This is the new age of Orion, and someday the asteroid belt will be known as: Orion's Belt.

BASE INFORMATION

CORPORATION NAME: Mikaili Industries
CORPORATION SPECIALTY: Mikaili specializes in infrastructure, communications, consumer goods (electronics, food, appliances, etc) logistics, and entertainment.
MAJOR INDUSTRIES: Resource harvesting & refinement, construction & power generation, education, security, mass media, manufacturing, financial, and disaster cleanup.
CORPORATION EXECUTIVE: Shakir Van Zyl
HEADQUARTERS: Pretoria, South Africa
HISTORY: Established by a wealthy millionaire attempting to escape from taxation, the company initially started as a shell company for money laundering. However as the wealthy millionaire began truly looking into the impoverished world around him, something in him to his surprise was touched. After spending some time reflecting he began to actually begin buying capital goods for the construction company that was Mikaili Industries. He began buying up contracts and smaller firms and actually came through on project due dates. This reliability gained the company much positive attention as they’d began bringing parts of Africa into the modern age in a timely manner at an affordable price.

The company prospered greatly after Africa faced yet another record length drought, increasing demand for desalination plants and water drilling sites. With many more contracts to fill and more money than he knew what to do with, the millionaire continued to invest in his small morality project. He began expanding the company’s influence in multiple sectors, and reached out to local talent spurring on a new social development in Africa as African name brands began to pop up in the following decades.

Operations exploded outside of the borders of South Africa and all across the African continent and into the Middle East. Education and modern amenities seemed to become available to the African peoples overnight with a new wave of political figure heads. Or at least in comparison to its previous progression time. Likewise in the Middle East, hospitals, schools, and infrastructure were built as Mikaili worked to strengthen the trust between nations and their governments (and themselves). While Mikaili builds heavily on their positive reputation of building social values and institutions, they shine much less light on their heavy handed dealings against armed resistance groups and militias across the continent. Entire militia compounds seemed to go silent overnight as well. UN inspectors were baffled at such a development. At this rate the millionaire had invested every fiber of his person and wealth into the company. His aspirations for the corporation having been passed on and carried out by each executive after him.

SHORT BIO: Born in Pretoria, Shakir grew up surrounded by Mikaili products and institutions much like how much of the world seemed to grow up surrounded by literally everything owned by Oxis. While the brands weren’t specifically labeled Mikaili Industries, they were all smaller subsidiaries owned by Mikaili. His family was employed by them, his peers, his teachers, even the politicians. Taught by the very company he now runs to make a positive impact on this world, he sought the very highest position to make change, and with an unshakable will he worked towards his goal tirelessly.

Chemical augmentation
Holograms
Nanites
Sound based weapons
Heat/microwave based weapons
Head mounted displays
Neural-links
Advanced electronic countermeasures
Energy based countermeasures
Focused energy weapons
Powered infantry armour
Pulse rifles

STANDARD INFANTRY WEAPON: The MIST typically employ the GRR-07 Shattergun created by Red Sun
STANDARD INFANTRY: Mikaili Industries Security Task Force - Troopers make up the bulk of the Security Task Force. They are chemically augmented humans with months of training for both combat, and non-combat situations. Their senses and abilities are further augmented by their armour. Armour may be modified depending on occupation varying from up-armouring, to active camouflage. They do everything from perimeter security, to police training. Their armour is environmentally sealed with 60 minutes worth of emergency oxygen. Their helmets come with a full suit of communications gear, and optics. These including thermals, infrared, night vision, movement, and substance identifiers. Their HUDs also come with an IFF, movement sensor, compass, and ammunition counter. Weapons are bio-metrically linked to their owner. They are a highly motivated and loyal fighting force not afraid of challenges. MIST is a large and very flexible fighting force on land, the sea, in the skies, and the space above.
MIST Agent - Chemically/biologically augmented, MIST agents are Mikaili's best. Years of experience and training have made these agents perfect for most any field. While perfect for undercover work, they are also incredibly adept at combat, often should an agent stay with the mainstay MIST division, they would be high ranking strike team leaders. Agents enjoy a generous amount of freedom and benefits away from the standard trooper to boot.
Mecha Pilot - Cybernetically and chemically augmented pilots are neurally linked to their mecha frames, controlling them like an extension of their body.
M-32 Support Android - The semi-autonomous android employed by MIST can be modified for a variety of different scenarios that would usually be too dangerous for human life from basic combat to hazardous operations. The droid meets the pleasant middle ground between price and quality, though due to base design, the droid is naturally less durable than dedicated combat droids, however is more agile and maneuverable than the aforementioned.
STANDARD MFV/MECH: MiH-22 - A 5 meter tall mecha, the MIH-22 is a tough, and reliable mecha pattern commonly seen assisting the MIST. Seasoned mecha pilots make excellent use of the mecha’s 35mm arm cannons, shoulder mounted 70mm rocket pods, and shoulder mounted ATGMs. These weapon systems can be switched out for other weapon types like grenade launchers or larger/smaller caliber weapons, or gauss weaponry. Each suit comes with a dedicated trophy system and electronic countermeasure suite. Pilots may opt to use mecha sized railguns.
MiM-27 - A 7 meter tall mecha that is a true Mikaili Industries force multiplier. Fast, sleek, and efficient. Mecha pilots have access to a full suite of state-of-the-art electronic warfare packages, communications, countermeasures, and more. They are armed with powerful anti-MFV weapons like directed energy canons, and coilguns. The MIM-27 is a humanoid mech that does not sacrifice power and speed for protection.
STANDARD COMBAT AIRCRAFT/SPACECRAFT: Phantom multi-role fighter - The Phantom features high speed, reliable maneuverability and banks on its strength to dodge or avoid fire all-together than take fire. The Phantom features electronic countermeasures, and other masking systems to cover its profile to prevent lock on. The Phantom uses 35mm dual-linked chainguns, 8 Air-Air missiles, A pair of 80mm rocket pods, a nose-mounted railgun, and a pair of Air-Ground missiles
MiA-12 - Mikaili's premier drop ship features a powerful array of large caliber guns, rocket pods, and countermeasures. The VTOL features active camouflage and comes in an unarmoured transport variant.
TYPES OF UNITS: F911 AMPV - The Armoured Multi-purpose Vehicle used by Mikaili Industries Security Task Force sees deployment all across the solar system. The armoured vehicle features resistance against most small arms infantry fire and a light countermeasure against conventional explosives. Wheels are puncture proof, EMP resistant, and feature extra air for hazardous situations.
Enforcer APC - The Enforcer features a pair of heavy dual linked 35mm cannons, and a 12.7mm machine gun. The Enforcer has been up-armoured from the AMPV to be resistant to heavier infantry based anti-tank weapons and cannon fire.
Ravager MBT - A more conventional piece of armour employed by MIST, the small tank works in large numbers. The tank features a main coilgun, a coaxial 14.5mm machine gun, and a trophy system.

RANK: Commander of Special ops forces 'Musashi'
PREVIOUS ROLE: Weapons Researcher, member of special ops forces 'Musashi'
SPECIALITY: Working directly for special operations forces 'Musashi', she is tasked mainly with defending key strategic points for the company in the case of any expected attack. Beyond that she is also an escort to high level authorities, and if needed can fill the role of special ops forces 'Yamato' operatives.

LIKES: Heavy weaponry, steak, silk, potato gratin, Eastern culture
DISLIKES: Beer, excessively fancy outfits, paper work, 'diet' foods

INVENTORY:
-'Titania': A heavy weapons unit built with lightweight materials that helps it achieve mobility, the Titania is a weapons unit designed against NSF style tactics, armed with 3 mini guns and a light plasma cannon along with missile launchers and conventional ammo launchers. When needed, supports can be deployed for full out firing.
-'Oberon': A slightly more compact heavy weapon, Oberon takes the form of a cannon that can burst of a laser strong enough to bust through most doors in a few shots, but requires more time than Titania to recharge and cool down.

-Gas mask


BIOGRAPHY:
Born into the heart of the 38th Ward 3 years prior to Freyja, Hyrania was the 5th generation of 'war maidens', an honorable name given upon women of the family that have served well in military operations. This title is bestowed upon them only by the company, with the Rosalia family having some of the deepest ties with the company among other various families that have had the honor of being it's affiliates. As such, from young Hyrania was trained in this art of heavy weaponry, the 'Oberon', something comparable to a family heirloom was passed onto her to wield in combat. However, she did not follow her sister's will to join the UN and instead decided to apply for the military core of Hyperion Heavy Works.

Finishing her education late at 22 over her sister's age at 20, she quickly got into the self defense core of the company through her personal connections as an agent, a far contrast from how her sister once started out as an intern before clawing her way up the ladder. During this time, she had found the work boring and took 3 years to continue her studies in science and technology. When she returned, she quickly transferred over to the military research department on Earth at Akashi Weaponry and Heavy Metal Works, operating as a researcher for heavier forms of weaponry that could potentially blow down blockades. It was here that she had forged a new weapon, the 'Titania' which soon became one of the mainstays of the security corps. However, she had kept the original prototype for herself, and with cybernetics could now withstand the pressure that had been removed in later models.

During this time, she was suddenly called back to the 39th ward. The NSF had made a daring attack on the facility, and they were in desperate need of backup. Arriving through crashing her personal space craft in, she demonstrated the fruits of her labor as she slowly mowed through each of them with 'Titania', deploying supports when a mech tried to take her out such that it's full fire could destroy it.

Upon hearing rumors of her deeds, she was summoned quickly to Edel's office personally. It was there that she was commended and scolded for destroying not only the NSF, but part of the facility as well. Giving in to the fact that she was skilled with her weapons, she was eventually given position of Special ops commander of task force 'Musashi', one of the 3 main forces among the company under the code name 'Ferdinand' to confuse enemies, and along with it came the duty to protect the company from any and all threats.

Arriving through crashing her personal space craft in, she demonstrated the fruits of her labor as she slowly mowed through each of them with 'Titania', deploying supports when a mech tried to take her out such that it's full fire could destroy it.

Upon hearing rumors of her deeds, she was summoned quickly to Edel's office personally. It was there that she was commended and scolded for destroying not only the NSF, but part of the facility as well. Giving in to the fact that she was skilled with her weapons, she was eventually given position of Special ops commander of task force 'Musashi', one of the 3 main forces among the company under the code name 'Ferdinand' to confuse enemies, and along with it came the duty to protect the company from any and all threats.

CHARACTER APPLICATION

---

NAME: Andrew Farslider
BIRTHPLACE: Mnemosyne, Venus
NATIONALITY: American
SEX: Male
AGE: 29

APPEARANCE: 6'0", well-built body from both years of exercise and strenuous labor. Blonde hair combed back, white complexion, stubble and mustache remnant of a once larger beard. Carries a noteworthy scar across his right eye from an explosion, a standard neural interface plug on the base of his neck, but no other visible cybernetics or tattoos.
CYBERNETICS:

• Standard-issue Neural Interface; for interfacing with and integrating into most computer systems, spacecraft, and MFVs.

EMPLOYMENT: The NSF (as of "Red Rising"); TBD (After "Red Rising")
RANK: MFV Pilot
PREVIOUS ROLE: Eden-Haven Heavy Works Contractor
SPECIALITY: Heavy duty mining and mech operation. Andrew has experience in both these fields given how they were involved in his previous employment. Non-military and combat mechs alike are no stranger to him, and his experience in operating these large pieces of machinery has helped him to become able to pinpoint MFV weak points with a customized Howler-5 "Bugspray", a pump-action heavy shotgun designed for use by MFVs.

LIKES: MFVs, shotguns, relaxing, archaic rock music.
DISLIKES: Given orders and being told what to do, the NSF, corporations, the UN, contracts.

INVENTORY:

• Raptor-5 Magnum - An older, harder-hitting version of the new and sleek Raptor-6 with a very powerful kick to it, and equally powerful 12.7mm x 40mm SAP-HE round, the Raptor-5 is a loud and proud handgun that is deadly in the hands of anyone who knows how to shoot it well. As opposed to the selective fire Raptor 6, the Raptor 5 is semi automatic, recoil-operated, and magazine-fed, and directs the recoil towards the shooter's wrist for greater accuracy. In addition to an underbarrel rail with space for a laser light/flashlight, the weapon can be issued with a smart-linked scope, linked to the user's Heads Up Display, or even a big ass silencer, but comes default with a miniature holographic reticule projector, for allowing anyone without cybernetics to aim the weapon properly.
• Peacemaker Armor - A custom-built suit of heat-resistant armor derived from the suits worn by Eden-Haven miners, there isn't really anything fancy about the armor save for the fact that it has a few little trinkets here and there and is tailored to suit its user. The helmet has thermal, IR and night vision on its HUD, and a special mode for locating electronics and other objects of interest. Along with an integrated light, the front visor plate and face mask may disassemble or assemble (think Dead Space) at will, whilst the entire suit is vacuum-sealed and fully CBRN-ready. A small jetpack on the back is used for EVA flight and reaching vertical targets, whilst the boots may magnetically lock to any given surface to provide a tactical advantage.
• OX-18 SPMG - The OX-18 SPMG is an old, archaic Oxis-era pulse rifle-type weapon, yet it makes up for its age with incredible durability, portability, and a ridiculously large caliber. It fires 14.5×114mm heavy machine gun rounds properly meant for destroying tanks, but finds its use in fighting androids and heavy armor-wearing infantry as well due to how easily it can be wielded. It is only used in conjunction with the Peacemaker Armor.
• EHW "Hercules" Industrial Laborer Mk. 4 - A heavy-duty and physically imposing mech built by Eden-Haven Heavy Works, intended for use solely in Eden-Haven's many treacherous mines. They were built to withstand large amounts of punishment by default and to lift things several times their body weight, while not forgetting about having room for ample mobility. In creating the Hercules Laborer mechs, Eden-Haven unintentionally created the perfect close quarter combat and hand-to-hand combat MFV.. which was a civilian mech. Andrew still keeps his Hercules mech and is most comfortable in piloting it, and often uses it in conjunction with the Howler-5 Bugspray heavy shotgun.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born into a poor working-class family on the slums of Mnemosyne, the largest city on the colony of Venus, Andrew Farslider struggled with a capitulating family, estranged father, and poor school system whilst living under the shadow of the megacity's massive highrises and skyscrapers stretching far into the Venusian skies. Wanting to someday escape the slum life, Andrew changed grades that used to be 68's into 98's in just under a year, whilst also balancing the strenuous work of working at a mechanic's shop and other odd jobs in his free time. One day, a man representing a megacorporation known as Eden-Haven Heavy Works approached Andrew, offering him an opportunity to take up a job at the company. He enticed him with promises of far better wages than he had been in already, good working conditions and hours, and corporate-sponsored housing and education. At the age of 18, fresh out of school and without a doubt financially incapable of going to Mnemosyne's prestigious universities, Andrew readily accepted the offer, much to his mother's dismay, who immediately demanded that he cancel his employment right away.

What Andrew didn't know was that Eden-Haven Heavy Works was notorious for its awful working conditions and treatment of workers, comparable to slavery in antiquity, at some points. Its contracts were known to effectively entrap entire families into horrible situations, and many laborers who went out to work in Eden-Haven's mines or factories were known to never return at all, or, at least, in a body-bag. Andrew Farslider was going to be the next person on the list of people that Eden-Haven conscripted into its workforce, and he couldn't do anything about it while his mother watched him depart for Mercury. The Venus Colonial Authority didn't bat an eye to this at all.

For years, Andrew worked behind the controls of a heavy-duty Laborer Mech in the hot, strenuous, and dangerous mines and factories of Mercury, under the harsh gaze of the practically ubiquitous sun and the frigid nights of the Mercurial wastelands. Despite being subject to the worst working conditions in the solar system and exposed to the harsh elements on an almost daily basis, Andrew pushed on, forming a very tight relationship with several of his fellow workers that had endured just as much, if not more pain, than he had. When Eden-Haven offered them time to rest and closed shop for the night, Andrew and his fellow laborers plotted and planned, with the help of several veteran workers that were either old NSF supporters or fighters.

When news of the syndicalist uprising's rebirth hit Mercury, the Eden-Haven workers revolted almost immediately, turning their heavy tools and determination towards the guns and MFVs of Eden-Haven's security forces. The ensuing bloodbath would've been all but a massacre of workers had it not been for the intervention of the NSF Black Mamba Battalion, a paramilitary team of elite MFV pilots named after the heavy MFV of its leader, Gideon Graves. Impressed by Andrew's valiant and courageous use of his civilian mech in combat against the much better armed security mechs, they offered him a spot on the team as its newest member, which he gladly took up on.

After a while, though, Andrew became disillusioned in the NSF's cause for a syndicalist-ruled world free of corporate corruption and mistreatment of workers. Freedom fighting became more like organized crime,
and so-called heroic raids on the UN turned into messy terrorist attacks as the NSF grew exponentially. Now, with changing lines between the actual NSF and power-hungry ruffians, Andrew struggles to find where he stands on the line of allegiance, questioning whether or not the cause he is fighting for is worth it.

I'll get to adding all of the addressed apps and characters to the archive after this is done.

Unfortunately I am unable to post due to software issues involving my laptop, apologies!

[Turmenista]

Making an addendum to the rules just for now: since it seems everyone is slow in posting and waiting on me, nobody runs the risk of their characters undergoing some terrible tragedy if they're holding us up. I want us to get to at least the Mars arc here.

Just post away, if people are tardy getting their own posts up that's their responsibility.
